context_page_description: The non-marine molluscs of the country of Turkey are a part of the molluscan fauna of Turkey. The biodiversity of non-marine molluscs of Turkey is richer than in surrounding European states.
  There are at least 825 species of non-marine molluscs living in the wild in Turkey. An approximate guess to the total number, however, is of about 1030 non-marine molluscs in Turkey.
  There are a total of 825 species of gastropods, which breaks down to 95 taxa of freshwater gastropods, and 730 species of land gastropods. There is also relevant number of freshwater bivalves living in the wild in Turkey.
  According to Gümüş et al., the Turkish malacofauna of land gastropods currently comprises 730 valid species and subspecies of terrestrial snails, belonging to 36 families.
  Gümüş et al. stated that Turkey has a very rich freshwater malacofauna with a very large proportion of endemic species. Those authors estimated that Turkey is inhabited by at least 300 species of freshwater molluscs.
  There are also significant numbers of non-indigenous species, including bivalves and various synanthropic gastropods and bivalves.
